THE GOVERNOR ACTS STRANGE
LN

Art. 9S3 ", of title XII, of the Code OF
Criminal Procedure reads as follows:
"In all cases in which the governor re-
mits fines or forfeitures or grants, re
prieves, communication of punishment or
pardons, he shall file in the Office OF the
secretary of state his reasons therefore.
Other governors have reported to the
legislature the date upon which to see for
itself, and without difficulty the ex'
ercise of the pardoning power in each
case and the amount of fines remitted
Alas! Governor Ireland does not see fit
to do this.

WOULD MIR. CONKLING ACCEPT.
Fromthe Utica Observer.
The majority of the influential Demo
cratic organs of the State take kindly to
the idea of electing Roscoe Conkling Sen
ator, and if fifteen Republican members
of the Legislature would display the re-
quisite moral courage the Democrats
would probably not be found wanting.
There is good deal of newspaper talk on
this point. For example, the Iowa State
Register, Republican paper, says: IF
the Register was published in New York
it would propose Roscoe Conkling for the
Senatorship. He has some weak points
and more exasperating habits and hob
bies. But he is strong enough to more
than make up for these faults, and still be
much the strongest man Men York has to
send to the Senate. With COnkling and
Evarts the Empire State would hav Sen
ators worthy of its greatness" An excel
lent sentiment, and one that every man
who knows Conkling,s abilities will ap-
prove! The first difficulty in the way of
electing Conkling Senatoras we said sew
eral weeks ago-relates to the getting of
the fifteen Republican State Senators and
Assemblymen, and the second concerns
Mr.. Conkling's willingness to accept the
Office, even if it were rendered him on a
solid silver salver, honestly bought.

IE CHANGED HIS MIND


Woodland, like Sacramento is talking
about an electric street railway. The
Woodland Democrat of yesterday, speaking
upon this matter, says: "The projectors
of the street railway seem to be in a
dilemma. 1t was stipulated in the fran
chise granting the right to run street rail-
way on certain streets in Woodland that
1t should be commenced within thirty
days. Not until this late day was it dis
covered that the State law enumerates the
only kinds of motive power by which street
cars can be propelled. AS the motive
power of electricity was not known at the
time the law was framed, that kind of
motive power was excluded from
the list, and now it Is held that
the only way it can be made
permissible is through special act of the
Legislature. As the Legislature will not
convene within year it will, therefore, be
impossible for the movers in the railway
scheme to meet the stipulation in the fran
chise. George II. Happs and F. NJ. Deeds,
the owners of the new motor, met with the
projectors of the street railway at Coward's
office last night, and it is understood that
their proposition to furnish the motor was
satisfactory. But when the hitch in the
law was discovered this morning there was
a small volcano in camp. Another meet
ing was held this afternoon, but the result
OF the conference is unknown"

HUMAN HIGHT.-From archaeological
evidence, an English writer contends that
the human race is growing taller, the in
crease in average stature appearing to be
about an inch and quarter in each 1000
years. Measurements of old armor show
decided increase in the hight of the
English aristocracy within 500 years. An
Gent collins found in Great Britain indi-
cate that the Romans could not have
greatly exceeded FIVE feet five inches in
average stature. Twenty-Five Egyptian
mummies give an average Of sixty-one
inches for males and ffty-ive inches for
females. The mummy of Cleopatra meas
ures about fifty-four inches, and the most
ancient known mummy of an Egyptian
king is only fifty-two inches long.

Event in Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, October 13th.-After doing
the town to-day the Presidential party were
escorted to the site of the projected Y. NJ.
@. A. building, corner Ninth and Locust
streets, of which the President laid the cor
ner stone. This ceremony was preceded
by the singing of hymns, brief address
and prayer by Bishop Hendricks. The
President made brief address.
While the ceremonies were in progress

dustriously piled their art. One of these
gentry, ford, well-buit, though rather
heavy man, was discovered by his victim
in the act, just too late, however to prevent
robbery. Chase was given, but the out
come was not learned, and when the laying
of the corner stone was completed the Pres
ident and party went to their hotel, where
an hour was given to lunch.
In the afternoon the President and Mrs.
Cleveland were escorted to the Government
building, where stand had been erected
facing a crowd of fully $4,000 people.
Mayor Kumpf made the formal speech of
welcome, to which the President replied at
some length.
at the conclusion of his remarks the
party returned to the Coates House for
dinner.

zens with their wives. The festivities

FRENZIED REDSKINS.
Exciting Scenes During the Trouble
the Grow Agency,

Exciting Scenes During the Trouble at
the Grow Agency,
WASHINGTON, October 13th-Secretary
Lamar received this evening from Special
Agent Howard Geographic report on the
situation at the Crow Agency, in Montana,
where trouble was begun last month. The
report, which is lengthy, virtually confirms
the first dispatches about the trouble, which
was inaugurated by young buck "medi-
cine man" and about fifteen or sixteen of
his followers, who, on the evening of Sep
TENDER Both, when preparations were in
progress peacefully for the issuing of rations
on the following day, rode through the
Agency in full war-paint and feathers, fir
ing into the roofs of all the houses, and
acting in very insulting manner.
Special Agent Howard thinks that Agent
Williams acted very wisely in not attempt
ing to arrest them with the Indian police
force, as it would have engendered blood
shed, and perhaps general massacre.
REDSKINS sPoILING FOR FIGHT.
Two troops of cavalry arrived on the
ground about 10 o'clock p. NJ, with orders
to protect the employees and property.
After the arrival of the troops the "medi-
cine man and his followers continued to
make hostile demonstrations, and sent
word to the troops that they were ready for
them, at the same time removing all their
squaws, old men and children from their
teepees to the opposite side of the river.
After the troops had gone into camp the
defiant gang of Indians went to the Traders
store and demanded ammunition, which
was of course refused. They then fred
into the store, and the Trader, his wife and
clerks had to barricade the windows with
bales of blankets to protect themselves.
The gang kept up their shooting all night,
OPENLY DEFYIYG THE TROOPS,
And making the night hideous with their
wells. In the morning two more troops of
cavalry arrived, and for five or six hours
this gang and some sixty or seventy follow
ers, stationed on the top of the hill over
looking the Agency, dared and defied the
soldiers to come up and take them.
INoIrING THE TRIBE TO VIOLENCE.
In the evening they disappeared, and
have been planting the seeds of discord
among the whole Crow tribe ever since
These Indians have not only stolen horses
from the Piegans, but from white settlers.
The " medicine man" is very bad Indian,
and if be and his followers are not arrested
all the progress these Indians have made
will be lost for years to come, and the
whole Crow nation completely demoralized
The longer their arrest is put off the more
danger is to be feared.

tCopuigA. 1887, by the California Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 13th.-[Special.
United States District Attorney Walker
has concluded that the case of Rev. E. Wal
pool Warren, who was recently called from
England to the rectorship of the Church of
the Holy Trinity in this city comes under
the Act to prohibit the importation of alien
labor under contract, and holds that he
must proceed to bring suit. In a letter the
District Attorney says: warren is an
alien, and has immigrated to the United
States under the solicitation of a corpora
ton with which, prior to his leaving Eng
land, he had engaged to perform labor, or
service, in this country. The statute pre-
scribes that the labor, or service. referred to
TO Is labor or service of any kind. This
cannot mean manual labor, or service, sim
ply, for the terms are of the broadest char
acter, and moreover the exceptions men
toned in the Act exclude the idea that its
general provisions relate to mechanical or
Industrial labor alone. The exceptions
pertinent to be noted are, among others:
Professional actors, artists, lecturers. or
singers None of these excepted cases
weuld be regarded as belonging to the man
ual labor class, and the conclusion is inevi-
table that, if not excepted, they would fall
within the terms of the law"

CAPTURED DOODLE
The Pacific Express Messenger Yields
Up the Stolen Coin,

CHICAGO, October 13th.-Just $23,5o0, it
is announced. of the money stolen from
the Pacific Express Company al Texar-
kama last week has just been recovered. 1t
was found buried behind a woodshed on
the outskirts of St. Louis, where John B.
Owens, the express messenger, placed it on
Saturday afternoon.
Owens himself led w. A. Pinkerton to
the spot where the money was planted and
dug it up with his own hands. He says he
buried the other $500 of the amount-he
stole $4,000, not $34 900, by the way
somewhere, but he has all but forgotten
where. He tried to lead the detective to it.,
but his memory failed him and the search
was abandoned for the time being. He
was drunk when he rifled the safe of the
Express Company at Texarkana, and he
went down to Dallas, Tex, to continue his
spree. One day at Dallas was enough for
him, and he then started for Chicago to
finish his debauch. A telegram to his wife
led to his detection. The company will
not prosecute him.

PETROLEUM SHIP.-The first ship ever
constructed to carry petroleum in bulk was
launched at Barrow, Eng, few days ago.
She is named the Hainant, and is full rig
ged, her dimensions being: length, 24O
feet; beam, 80 feet depth, nodded,
% feet 81 inches Her gross tonnage is
l,750 tons, and her carrying capacity
$4,000 tons. The hold, in which the
petroleum is carried is divided into
ten different compartments, and the
ship has fifteen water-tight compartments.
The divisions are necessary for the safe
carriage of petroleum in bulk, but this also
adds to the safety of the ship. and makes
her practically unsuitable in the event of
